the dosage*(doh-zahzh)

Le Dosage is the term for a mixture of wine and sugar (or sugar syrup) that is used in the production of Champagne and other sparkling wines to balance acidity and, some say, flavor. Le dosage is added as the wines are nearing the end of the fermentation process.

That’s the idea behind this blog. Le Dosage is my attempt to add something extra — reflections on wine and culture — to discussions I see in the world of wine.
